5 Common Vaping Mistakes Made by Beginners

Someone that’s new to vaping is bound to become confused, especially with the masses of choice out there these days. There are, therefore, an unfortunate number of mistakes a new vaper can make - all of which are easily avoided with a bit of forward planning. 

If you have customers who are brand new to the vaping world, there are 5 mistakes they could make. But by equipping them with knowledge and great suggestions, these mistakes can be avoided. 

1. Not starting with a disposable

Starting with a complex vape kit can be a mistake. Starting with a disposable pen is much easier. Disposable vape kits are different to refillable vaping kits. They are much easier for beginners to use, requiring no setup, no recharging and no coil or e-liquid changing. There are fewer ‘parts’ to get to know, and generally they cost less money depending on how frequently you use them. People who are brand new to vaping might start with whatever their friends are using. And if their friends are experienced vapers, the devices might feel too complicated for a novice to use. 

The beauty of disposables is that you can select a flavour, nicotine level and puff count of choice (the puff count being the number of inhales and exhales you can expect from the device) and get going straight away. Once you’re done, you throw the device away. It really is simple. 

Disposables come in a range of styles and flavours but some of our favourites are:

Cali Greens CBD GO 1000mg CBD Disposable Vape Pen 1500 Puffs - 1500 puffs is a good puff count for a disposable vape, so will last you a long time. And this particular pen also has a high amount of CBD in it, which is often preferred over smaller amounts. 

20mg SALT Disposable Vape Pod 600 Puffs - This device has an array of flavours, one of which is pure tobacco which is ideal for anyone transitioning from cigarettes. 

2. Selecting the wrong nicotine level

Nicotine level matters. Some people require a lot of nicotine (e.g. 20mg) or even wish to add extra nicotine salts to eliquids to get an even bigger dose. Others are trying to cut down on nicotine and therefore may only want 10mg. And some vapers are not nicotine dependent and therefore want to avoid it. Some new vapers make the mistake of selecting the wrong nicotine level which can lead to feeling sick or getting dependent on nicotine when it was not necessary to do so. If you are not currently using any nicotine products, you’re advised to choose a 0mg vape pod such as the 0mg Ultimate Bar XL Disposable Vape Device 3500 Puffs. Alternatively, you can choose a CBD vape pen which does not contain any nicotine. 

3. Not understanding CBD dosing

If you have decided to go for a CBD vape kit, you could risk making the mistake of not understanding the dosing. The CBD dose will appear as a mg on the vape kit, for example 300mg or 1500mg. Some people prefer higher doses of CBD, and others find that low doses work much better. If you are new to CBD, begin low and slow. Keep the dose down, for example, by using this Moodbar 120mg CBD Disposable Vape Pen - 2ml 600 Puffs. And then you can build up from there. Also, check how big the eliquid tank is when comparing the CBD mg. Different CBD levels are used for different things. For example, a lot of people with chronic pain problems require a high dose of CBD to help fight this pain. Those with generalised anxiety can benefit from low, regular doses of CBD.

4. Not understanding VG/PG levels

Many people don’t know what’s in vape juice. And this leads to making poor choices when it comes to selecting e-liquid. Vape juice is made up of four ingredients: Vegetable Glycerin (VG, Propylene Glycol (PG), Flavouring and Nicotine (optional). Vape e-liquid will blend VG and PG together in different ratios, for example 50/50, or 70/30. If you do not understand these ratios, you run the risk of having an unpleasant vaping experience. Higher levels of VG reduce the throat hit (the feeling of the vapour at the back of your throat) and increase the smoke clouds. Higher levels of PG give a stronger throat hit and more subtle clouds. Most people are happy to start on 50/50 VG/PG and then make alterations from there. A great 50/50 vape kit to begin with is the 20mg Elf Bar T600 Disposable Vape Device with Filters 600 Puffs. It can be fun to experiment with different VG/PG levels, so make sure you keep a range of them in your inventory.

5. Doing what friends do

A big mistake when you start vaping is to copy your friends. People who are experienced in vaping will have developed their own way of doing it. This style is personal to them, including device choice, flavour choice, VG PG blend, brand choice and much more. Copying friends is going to lead to disappointment. The best thing any beginner can do is experiment. Start with the basics, and then experiment with different brands and flavours until there’s a clear favourite. We recommend a basic disposable vape to begin with, such as the 20mg Elux Legend Mini Disposable Vape Device 600 Puffs. It offers an enormous range of flavours, a 20mg nicotine strength and 600 puffs.
